If the Conservatives lose another MP and give the Liberals a majority, their death spiral is going to be ultra fun to watch. Polievre is done.

ICYMI like I did: Mark Carney has abandoned our ban on the manufacture, import & sale of single-use plastic items. Because if Canada needs anything, it's more plastic trash.
There's no measurable benefit to Canadians here. It's just actively making things worse.

Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker program has been compared to slavery by the UN. ❗ Those who work in the program are often used to pad the profits of big corporations, then discarded when it is politically convenient. #canlab

This article argues that Canadian banking regulations are too tight because Canadian banks are safe, and since we haven't had a bank collapse in 40 years, we should just go ahead and loosen regulations.

This is a good read. And he's made it very clear that the PM sold us all out for no gain. In fact, it's just going to cost us all more. A major driver of inflation is fossil fuels. Surely, a man with a PhD in Economics from Oxford knows this. So how is he going to make things cheaper for all of us?

One of the reasons everything is so expensive.
This is price fixing.
Has Amazon been fined or sued for this?
And more importantly, how can we end Amazon's monopoly?

A variation on this, as I'm sure you know, is nursing contract firms checking the debt level of a prospective nurse before offering them a contract job - the higher the nurse's debt, the lower the wage offered because they're desperate.
